Products: Penetrating Prime Cure
Earthbind™ Prime Product Overview
Earthbind™ Prime is a quality, versatile and environmentally-friendly penetrating prime cure. Earthbind™ Prime can be safely stored and easlity applied and was developed as an alternative for the traditional, unsafe asphalt cutback.
Earthbind™ Prime is formulated with environmentally-friendly biopolymers, and surfactants and does not contain any volatile organic carbon’s (VOC’s). As a penetrating prime cure Earthbind™ Prime works by binding loose soil or aggregate particles together, thus strengthening the soil/aggregate matrix and preventing even the smallest particles from becoming airborne as fugitive dust. In addition, Earthbind™ Prime will add water resistance to the treated soil particles and will not re-solubilize in rainwater after curing.
Earthbind™ Prime is sold and transported in a concentrate and is diluted in water prior to application.
As a penetrating prime cure Earthbind™ Prime:
- Protects the underlying road base layers from moisture by providing a waterproofing layer
- Efficiently binds surface fines together and promotes bonding to a hot mixed asphalt layer
- Effectively penetrates the road base
- Applies quickly without road closures using a water truck or pressurized distributor truck
- Easily washes off of equipment and vehicles before curing
